2021 KIA Ceed 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · AF70 WND

The 2021 Kia Ceed presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 January 2026 at 56,924 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual passes show no advisories or mechanical faults. The vehicle's condition has held steady across its test history with no worsening pattern. Recorded mileage sits at 56,924 miles against an approximate five-year age, equating to roughly 11,385 miles per year and reflecting typical use for this class. The test on 19 January 2026 at 56,924 miles follows the 4 February 2025 pass at 42,872 miles, a 14,052-mile gain over eleven months. Earlier, the 20 February 2024 pass at 32,557 miles trailed the 30 January 2024 and 16 February 2024 failures at the same mileage, where the tester logged no defects yet refused the certificate. The DVSA data gives no explanation for those two early-2024 rejects, but identical mileages across three February 2024 entries suggest the car was presented, failed on administrative or unrecorded grounds, then passed days later. A buyer should still verify the reasons behind the January and February 2024 failures, as the record shows no defects yet two consecutive rejects at 32,557 miles before the eventual pass. Inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, and underbody structural integrity in person, since the clean advisories list offers no early warning of wear in those areas. Given the sparse but clean history, confirm service records and check for corrosion or consumable wear not captured by the MOT. The low-defect profile implies reasonable upkeep, though the unexplained 2024 failures warrant a direct question to the seller before purchase.
